Rock Band is Guitar Hero multiplied. From the makers of said Guitar Hero.

You can have a lead guitar, a bass guitar, drums, and a mic, playing your favorite rock tunes.

I played guitar hero and rockband for the first time a little bit ago and I was really surprised at how fun they are.

Rock Band ships with 40 of the most epic rock acts ever (with downloadable songs and albums to come)!
Nirvana’s “In Bloom”,
Metallica’s “Enter Sandman”,
Queens of the Stone Age’s “Go With The Flow”,
Foo Figthers’ “Learn to Fly”,
The Hives’ “Main Offender”,
Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen”,
Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid”,
The Strokes’ “Reptilia”,
The Ramones’ “Rockaway Beach”,
Weezer’s “Say It Ain’t So”,
David Bowie’s “Suffragette City”,
Rush’s “Tom Sawyer”,
Stone Temple Pilots’ “Vasoline”,
Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive”,
The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” – AND MORE!

I played "In Bloom" on the store display. It was fun...love the drums.

I was on the drums and a buddy of mine was rocking the mic. He was signing Wanted Dead or Alive offkey. We got an audience, so it couldn't have been that bad.

A little late to preorder. (says the person who waits until the day it comes out to respond) If you want one, you better line up. This is going to be one hot toy for Xmas.

Some ebays have been spotted at $500 for this bad boy.

They are going to be flooded the next few days. If they can't keep up with the initial demand in the first few days, then the prices are going to skyrocket.

You and me both. A buddy of mine is going the cheaper route, and only wants $250 for his via Craigslist.

I tried the drums out on this and was very disappointed. Then again, they weren't offering "Jazz Trio" or "Fusion Quartet." I'd sell a few more points of blood for that game/console. ;)

I have thoroughly enjoyed the drums. Haven't tried the guitar though. I wonder how different it plays from the GH guitars.

Hey Donald and abomb.

We need a rap band model with two turntables mixing to popular rap songs. Help me with that.

The guitar looks similar but maybe a bit different. I love the damn drum kit.

I'd buy a stripped down version with just the drums for cheaper.

You can purchase the drums separately for about $69.99 I think. The game costs $50 or $60, so for the extra $40 it is worth just keeping the MIC/guitar.

No comment about the turntables... I thought we could be partners.

Ah well, where's Mulli when you need him?

I bought 3. Two of them I'm selling for profit (hopefully).

Get them on ebay or craigslist quickly. I tried to sell my 360 when I got it and the market was flooded very fast.

I disagree...the opposite is needed right now, actually. If you are looking to buy, right now is the time. In a few weeks, I think the minimum to buy this will be $400. Right now you can get them around $200 or less. That is going to change...EA is saying that if you don't get this at launch, you won't get one until March or so.

I foresee a reverse of the x360 experience...this is going to be more like wii. There just isn't enough of this stuff..

If the market doesn't pump like I think it is going to (high demand, 0 supply) then I'll just return mine to C-Co.
